The Spiritual School of the Golden Rosycross: Lectorium Rosicrucianum: a Spiritual Community of the Present Konrad Dietzfelbinger

Publisher Marketing: The spiritual path as it was walked in all times under various conditions by truth seekers lies at the center of this book. In the Spiritual School of the Rosycross, this way is walked in the sign of Christian Rosycross. It connects to the consciousness of the modern human being on the basis of the original Christianity while at the same time reaching back to the long, independent spiritual tradition of the West. The inner workings of this spiritual school are made transparent for the onlooker: Who were its founders? From which sources did they draw? What are the contents of the Rosicrucian philosophy? How does a spiritual power field work? What is the structure of the Spiritual School? We see that not only the individual pupil is on the way but also the whole community, that this path is not an automatic one, however, and that it can happen that individual pupils under certain conditions may not be able to reach the goal. A spiritual school is a visible model of a human community of the future in which unity, freedom, and love among human beings are striven for. For these characteristics are the destiny of every human being and of humanity. Therefore, renewing impulses can also go out from the Spiritual School to society, science, culture, and religion. Contributor Bio:  Dietzfelbinger, Konrad Konrad Dietzfelbinger, born in 1940, with degrees in sociology and Germanic studies, worked from 1980 to 1990 as reader and manager at a publishing firm and has since been independently active as translator, publisher, and author in Munich. His chief interests are Christian and Jewish spirituality and mysticism. Several of his books have been translated into English, Spanish, French, Czech, Polish, and Dutch. He was raised in an especially religious environment and already noticed as a child that under the Christian faith as he encountered it there, there had to be hidden a much deeper, spiritual Christianity. One of his main concerns has been to make this original Christianity visible again. Besides other works, he published the Nag Hammadi texts with introductions and commentaries in four volumes (1988-1995) and authored the books Kafkas Geheimnis (Kafka's Secret), Schopenhauers Vermachtnis (Schopenhauer's Legacy), Mysterienschulen des Abendlandes vom alten Agypten bis zu den Rosenkreuzern der Neuzeit (Mystery Schools of the Occident from Ancient Egypt to the Rosicrucians of Modern Times), Der spirituelle Weg des Christentums (The Spiritual Path of Christianity), Die Geburt des wahren Selbst im Menschen (The Birth of the True Self in the Human Being), Jesus-der vollkommene spirituelle Mensch: Mysterienweisheit im Johannesevangelium (Jesus-the Perfect Spiritual Human Being: Mystery Wisdom in John's Gospel), Werdet vollkommen: Die Bestimmung des Menschen im Evangelium nach Matthaus (Be Perfect: The Destiny of the Human Being in the Gospel According to Matthew), Erlosung durch Erkenntnis-Die Gnosis (Redemption through Realization-The Gnosis), Fall und Auferstehung des Christentums (Fall and Resurrection of Christianity), and Der Gott im Menschen: Eine Jesus-Biographie (God in the Human Being: A Biography of Jesus).
